Really? I can sense i'm on the verge of making (another) DIY boo-boo then because it looked fairly straight forward to me. Not to say that it is - i could quite easily miss some finer points that end up making a mess of the whole thing. It's been done before. Regards the size of the gate -...

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at those hook & band hinges after what you said (simply highlighted & searched google). Saw these: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Ironmongery/d170/Heavy+Gate+Fittings/sd2947/Hook+&+Band+Black+Cranked+Hinge/p84185 I don't mind the price. Like you say, the T...

The old gate we had was badly warped & the hinges rusted & twisted after it blew back on itself years ago. I finally got round to making a replica, this time with tanalised T&G boards as the face instead of rough sawn which the previous owners had used. Everything is set so far. Just looking...

Thanks. As it turns out, the place that i work seems to sell the 'proper' stuff. Labelled up as Creoseal 100% coal tar. I got myself a sample & painted up some test pieces. Smelled beautiful. They weren't joking when they said 100% coal tar too!!! The fence panels will be on base panels. The...

This is the sensor We did as the installation fella said & armed the alarm Weds night & Thurs night as i was off work on Friday & if it went off again i was to give him a call Friday for him to come out. It didn't go off. Didn't go off Friday night either. So i can only assume as he & you...

For anyone else who may have this TV &/or this problem, i have solved it. Well, i haven't - Panasonic did in the end after a few emails to their CS dept. I didn't need to reformat it & exFAT was fine. What was going wrong was i was trying to access the files incorrectly. I was trying to access...

Thanks for the help give. Much appreciated. I was wondering whether leaving the tongue & the groove on each edge would be such a bad thing, since the width is pretty much perfect right now. I'd been told that it'd be ok but i should probably hinge the groove side & plane off the tongue as it'll...

I'm toying between the Cuprinol Ducksback & Creocote. Ducksback i can obviously have a range of colours, but it's water based & i'm wondering if Creocote would be better since it's oil based .......... just that it's brown. I've also got a bit to do & i don't think you can spray Ducksback but...

Unfortunately i'll have to go with a hand saw i think since i've ballsed this up by gluing & clamping the majority of the T&G together & i can't get a gate that size in the car to get to the table saw at my mothers. Just checked & the circular saw i have doesn't have a guide. I can see the slot...

I was watching a video (this one: ) building a garden gate out of T&G wood. I'll be needing to whip off the T&G at either end & this chap called it a 'rip fence'. I googled that & got all manner of results but nothing for a circular saw. I googled some more & found this...

I've read the manual & been in touch with Panasonic directly & still I'm unable to do it. If any of you have managed this (or on another Panasonic model similar to this) then please post up what you did & which USB Flash Drive you used (in case the one i'm using is no good). This is a copy of...

Hmm forget that then. I didn't think they were on about outright illegal activity. I don't fancy putting myself at risk of getting in any bother for a few movies so i'll knock this one on the head. Thanks.

It's a rectangular sensor on the window. Totally different to the PIR sensors in the living room & diner. When the bloke installed the new PIRs downstairs he tested out the vibrate sensor & it took a fair old whack to set it off according to my wife. It wasn't renewed at the time so no idea...

The panel is a Honeywell ADE Gen4 i believe. So for the past 3 weeks we've actually been setting the alarm when we leave the house & also go to bed at night. Everything has been fine. The front door, side door & bathroom window are on those magnetic contacts. The back bedroom window is on some...

Thanks very much for your detailed response. I was put on to that by some people at work. I had been told that you could watch new movies on it via the jailbreak. By new i mean fairly recent. That is basically what i would've been buying it for. Can they be accessed via one of the other options...

Now that i have finally gotten the living room sorted & bought a TV, we're just waiting on the sofa & job done. Time to consider this AppleTV thing which i know absolutely zero about really. I believe if you jailbreak it (don't know how easy that is) you're supposed to get some decent content...

Ok the thread title is a bit of a jumbled mess but it contains the details of what i'm going to ask about. I was thinking of getting a garden paint sprayer (nothing fancy) because we will have to paint a number of 6x5 panels, a wooden shed & a 1.8-x-1.1 gate. I'd looked at that ducksback paint...

Are you trying to say the roof shouldn't be walked on or are you trying to say something else that i haven't been able to decipher? Out of interest - this idea of tiles not good for walking on ... why doesn't the same apply to slate then? Roofers are up on slate roofs plenty enough, even tiled...

Wow are they really so bad? Even 'decent' systems (by decent i mean ones that cost more than the cheapest of the cheap)? What is involved in installing a wired system? We've finished all our decorating & carpets were fitted last week. If installation of a wired system is going to make a pigs...

Gutter corners? I'll assume this is part of the tile & not any tiles that are located near guttering? Or is it as the name suggests - tiles near guttering? If the tiles that were left in the shed are anything to go by then the tiles on that roof are Redland Mini Stonewold. I would've thought...
